The nation and the world lost an extraordinary change agent in Edward M. Kennedy. He had an unyielding commitment to ensuring that every individual reaches her/his potential- to have access to equal rights, health care, a good education and the opportunity to give back. His singular commitment and leadership brought millions of people into the circle of the American dream and the fullness of their own gifts. He lived out a personal and transformational commitment to public service and was passionate about creating a culture of service across the country.
The generosity of the eBay Community is a constant inspiration to everyone involved with the eBay Giving Works program. Since 2003, eBay buyers and sellers have generated more than $140 million in the U.S. and U.K., supporting more than 20,000 nonprofits.
MissionFish is very pleased to recognize the Top 25 eBay Giving Works donors for July 2009. Together, these sellers have donated or raised more than $76,000 for their favorite causes in just one month. We are grateful for their generosity, and are proud of how they represent the best of the eBay Community spirit.
AmeriCorps alums live next door to you. They work with you, shop where you shop and might even go to the same yoga class as you. Some have “Ameri-marriages” (two former AmeriCorps members getting hitched!), “Ameri-babies” (kids of those AmeriCorps members), and “Ameri-love” (an undying fondness for the AmeriCorps program they served in). Any way you slice it, there are more than 500,000 AmeriCorps alums out there in the world, and they are the leaders of tomorrow… making change and continuing to ‘get things done.’
For centuries, the American ethos of service has set this nation apart in the world. Today, research shows that service is more than a cultural value. It is an essential tool to the development of the next generation and a powerful lever for the education and life success for all children.
